	STRONG ARMS SHIRAZ One of my favorite reds because of it's soft tannins and ripe red fruits. Next time you grill some thick pork chops or make a pot of stew, give it a try. Even if you don't cook, it sure tastes good in front of a warm fire!! $13.99

	Phil's Picks
	MCMANIS PINOT NOIR This Pinot Noir is extremely well balanced with the most pleasant nose of rich ripe cherries. My friends have all been drinking and bragging about this wine for a while but I was waiting for colder weather and a fresh venison loin to accompany this wine. Well, cold weather is here but unfortunately the venison loin isn't. No worries, it still was wonderful with dinner and will be served at my house through the holidays. $10.99
	STARBOROUGH SAUVIGNON BLANC I've been on a Sauvignon Blanc kick all summer especially enjoying the ones from New Zealand. A new favorite of mine is Starborough. This wine is bursting with grapefruit and citrus flavors and goes perfectly with most seafood and poultry dishes. This wine isn't just for dinner around my house but is enjoyed before, during, and after. Typically with most New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs ranging close to $20, this one is a real find at the current price. $14.99
